Daylesford is a great alternative to going to the beach on a warm day.  The region has an olympic size swimming pool, two lakes full to the brim with boat hire available, and nearly all accommodation is air-conditioned.  Try a Daylesford restaurant or sip on a crisp wine under a shady verandah.  Don't forget the Day Spas, the better ones are fully air-conditioned as well, so you can still enjoy a massage and hot spa.   Beat the crowds and the heat and head to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs.

Daylesford is a little over an hour from Victoria's capital in the Central Highlands.  The region is known as spa country as over 70% of Victoria's mineral water comes from this area.  Daylesford is a haven for massage, spa and indulgence.  Daylesford and Hepburn Springs are reputed to have more massage and beauty therapists in one location than anywhere else in Australia.

Dining in a Cafe or Restaurant offers one of life's simple pleasures.  Whether it be a cheap eat or silver service, there is nothing better than a good meal.  An Italian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican or Australian restaurant offers dining experiences to make you want to go back again and again.  Try a local cafe for a coffee and cake or perhaps a light meal.  Let's not forget the range of takeaway with pizza, fish and chips and noodles.
